McAllen, TX (November 7, 2014) – Future and current students are encouraged to register now for the spring 2015 semester at South Texas College. Classes are set to start on January 20.
Starting or continuing a higher education path can seem like a difficult process. That is why expert staff are available to help students with everything from financial aid to advising. South Texas College prides itself in creating a welcoming and positive environment to help guide students through the registration process.
“Now is the perfect time to start working on financial aid options including filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the spring semester,” said STC Associate Dean of Student Financial Services Testing & Veterans Affairs. “In Award Year 2013-2014, 90 percent of students on financial aid were eligible for the full amount of Federal Pell Grants. Unlike Federal Stafford Loans, Federal Pell Grants do not have to be repaid.”
A great first stop to receive guidance on financial aid, advising, counseling and registration is at the Welcome Centers located in the Student Services Buildings on the Pecan, Mid-Valley and Starr County Campuses. Here, students can receive one-on-one help as they start the registration process.
“It’s never too early to start planning your schedule for the spring semester,” said STC Dean of Enrollment Services and Registrar Matthew Hebbard. “We want you to get the best selection of courses that fit your schedule. Our staff welcomes you to come in, call or visit us online to start the registration process.”
With more than 114 degree and certificate program options in a variety of business, technology, liberal art, social science, math, science, nursing, and allied health fields of study, students have a range of options when it comes to pursuing their education. This includes online classes via South Texas College’s virtual campus eSTC.
And for graduates who wish to continue their education, South Texas College has applied bachelor degree programs and more than 60 articulation agreements with colleges and universities across the nation.
Spring 2015 classes start Jan. 20. For more information, please call South Texas College Admissions at 956-872-8323 or visit southtexascolleg.edu/register.
